Quite an interesting story is told
on Postmaster Decker, of Lamar.
Last Thursday night, belated trav-
eler called for his mail between IL
and 10 O'Clock, saying that he was
certain that there was letter in
that postoilice for him. A gentle
man was sleeping in the rear of the
building, but not having access to
the office, hit upon the idea of send
ing the gentleman to "Deck," who
was calling on his Thursday night
girl; "only mile and a half from
town" The man, after jotting
down the directions given, started
of, finding the long-sought-for and
hard to-find postmaster in "deep
brown study upon the question
whether he had better start out and
walk home or camp for the night on
the prairie. "Deck" had Just de-
cided TO do the former when the bel
ligerent letter seeker hove around
the corner. ''Is this the dude post
master of Lamar?' was tire first in
timation Mr. d. received that he was
not alone in his glory. eyes, you
hoodlum, what do you want with
me?" 81 want that letter you have
in your corral, 'and d-n quick too
or you and will mix right here.''
Decker being at this moment of a
pngilistic turn of mind over the
prospect of walking to town, mixed
with him. They tore up the ground
and walowed down the blooming
cactus and the innocent sand -bui
until both. were exhausted without
securing a victory, and then ad
journed to town and settled the
matter by Decker giving him the
letter, and the "other fellow" pay
ing for two story tile and thu
doctors bill on both sides. !
Decker sees this, of course it dom

Advice to the New Reporter.

Positively the first thing to accomplish
in the study of descriptive style is the
complete elimination of the writer's in
dividuality. With the first instructions
of the city editor to the new man: "Write
your copy on one side of the sheet only"
comes this prohibition; "On no account
way in which the city editor says 'Elim-
mate yonr individuality" and it may
seem for a moment as if it were alto
gether unnecessary that 1 should call at
tention to it. But tho avoidance of the
first person in narration is the slightest
step toward suppressing ones person
atty.
We must prevent our views from find
ing expression, or from coloring our
work. That this is no easy task we all
know, and that few succeed in accom-
plishing it, is made evident by the re-
mark made to me not long ago by a
well known and successful journalist of
New York: There is not one newspaper
man in a hundred who can do real de-
s~criptive work" This was a candid, de-
liberate judgment based on twenty years
experience. 1t is essential, then. to the
unmioved observer of events, never
to be a participant in them; to see
things exactly as they are without re-
gard to possible motives which may have
produced them. 1t is not our business
to deal with motives, but rather, to pre-
sent mems acts, gestures, dress, appear
ance SO graphically that the reader will
be melted to supply such motive as may
suit his own bias.-F. r. Burton in The
Writer.

In selecting violin strings it is safe to
choose those of greatest transparency.
Dizziness of color indicates too many
threads of indifferent material. The
fourth string Is covered with silver or
copper wire, or a mixture of metals of
great ductility. Silver is wound ON gut
to good advantage. Those covered with
copper wire give more powerful effects.
Strings bearing either of these metals
have a tendency to rise in pitch from
warmth of the fingers. To obviate this
annoyance mixed wire is used, combin-
ing power and softness, which is less
liable TO expansion. Fourth strings, as
found in market, are apt to be too heavy.
1t is best to purchase all sizes as they are
needed, as they seldom improve after
seasoning. Old instruments do not Or
dimarily require heavy strings. Medium
sizes That develop rich, clear tones are
better adapted to mood, mellowed by a
c%entury's existence in the violin. I'm
duly loading the bridge with coarse
strings checks the more sensitive vibra-
tons and tends to dismember the struc-
ture. Prices range from 81 per bundle
Of thirty strings to so per dozen. Fourth
strings are made in single lengths. other
sizes usually contain two to four lengths.
a catalogue at hand quotes them in thirty
seven grudes.-ProvidenCc Journal.
